Unbelief.
This is off topic, but can anyone become amish?
as far as i know :idunno:
they tend to have their own little groups with their own interpretations of what's appropriate
start your own!
Evil. Period.
Terrible story. I live in some Amish country too. There are many farms that have roadside stands, some of which are run by children. When this story broke the local paper had an article with some interviews with some of them. I don't recall that any had talked to their children about how to be cautious for things like that or what to do in a situation like that. Some weren't going to tell their children to prevent them from getting scared. Some said that even if children are running the stand that there are adults nearby that can keep watch. At least one said something to the effect that they just have to trust God.
I can understand not expecting something like that from happening so maybe you weren't very prepared before this incident but I didn't get the impression that any of them were going to change their operation or be more careful going forward. I hope those changes just didn't make it into the article or I misinterpreted their comments.

The power of sin and in this case uncontrollable lust.
I think it goes beyond lust, assuming you mean sexual lust. I think preying on children involves a desire for power as well. That they have power and control over the children. And perhaps the destruction of innocence.
after the girls were returned the father expressed sympathy for the perps stating that their lives were ruined
Are you not conversant with the term ''lust for power''?

The Amish are anabaptists. They believe in the Trinity.
I am pretty sure you can't be a non-Trinitarian and join...
I know the term. You didn't use that full phrase though, so I wasn't sure what you meant.
By lust <epithumia> I meant lust in all its despicable and filthy manifestations.
i suspect it will turn out that they fueled their desires with internet porn until they no longer satisfied and then were driven by their demons to go look for live victims

But they do were hats and are often self-righteous, so she's already 2/3 of the way there.
ooooh - i forgot about the hats
good point!
good point!
But every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust — Greek, υπο της ιδιας επιθυμιας εξελκομενος;
Man doesn't need demons. He has sufficient lust within himself.
